Some DVD discs are recorded with soundtracks and/or subtitles in several languages. A
disc might contain the original soundtrack, a dubbed version, plus subtitles in three or
four languages. You're free to select any combination: the original soundtrack with no
subtitles; original soundtrack with subtitles; or dubbed soundtrack and subtitles. The
only limitation is what is recorded on the disc.

You can set up the player with your preferred language settings so the player
automatically switches languages for you whenever you load a disc.
The DVD standard recognizes 136 languages. You can select any of these as your
preferred language, but that doesn't mean that you'll always be able to watch a disc in
that language—it just depends what is recorded on the disc.
Out of the box, the player's default settings are:
Audio language - English
Subtitle language - English
Auto language - On
This last setting means that the player selects the original soundtrack whenever
possible: if the original soundtrack is in your preferred language, then it won't also
show the subtitles; if it's a foreign-language soundtrack but there are subtitles
available in your preferred language, then it will select those.
Remember: you can still switch languages at anytime during playback.
